I'll let you in on a little fact about me. I love sad things. Sad movies, sad songs, sad poems. Kinda weird right? Thankfully I've learned I'm in pretty good company- Goddesses such as Diane Sawyer long for a sad tune every now and again as well. 

What me and my dream life BFF Diane know is there is a definite beauty to such raw emotions. I think about Adele and how her heart break is something that millions connect with on a level that is astounding. The woman is an institution. And most of her stuff is pretty sad. We love it because we've been there, we get it, it's raw, it's real, and it's so beautiful. 

The funny thing is I don't listen to sad music when I'm actually sad. It's just not what I need in that moment. When I'm sad I seek out inspirational or upbeat music. Sad music is a beautiful thing to me and I don't want to handle it when I'm in a dark and twisty place, and make it dark and twisty too. I love it too much. 

But I'm pretty good at knowing what I need and getting myself out of funky places. When I saw this quote I couldn't help but think "yup I've felt that way", and I sure as hell know a lot of my clients feel that way. I see people every day struggling to just keep it all to themselves. What I encourage everyone to do is find something that can speak for you.

Listen to a song on repeat and sit in wonder that that famous person thousands of miles away has felt exactly what you have felt. Paint or draw with colors that make sense for where you're at, or better yet, where you want to be. Prepare and cook a divine meal that feeds you in ways you didn't even realize you were hungry. Find things that don't require your explanation, and let them speak for you.

    This blog is less about my writing, and more about sharing inspiration.  I'll post pictures, articles, and videos that I find interesting, moving, or just funny (funny being a loose term here as my humor is generally of the nerdy psychoanalytic variety). 

    I don't take credit for any of the pictures, they are all from other sources. When available or appropriate, I will try to place the link to original source.
